DESCRIPTION
ECD2PHA converts an Einstein PHA dataset in the format on the
HEASARC CD-ROM distributed in 1992, July 1, to an OGIP standard PHA
file format. The resultant file can be used with existing software
such as GRPPHA ,MATHPHA, and RBNPHA.
WARNINGS ON USAGE
This is a beta-test version, use with care.

Currently only the following OGIP standards are supported by this
task:
HDUCLAS1/HDUVERS1 = 'SPECTRUM'/'1.*.*'
(commonly also known as "PHAVERSN=1992a")
HDUCLAS2 = 'TOTAL'/'NET'/'BKG'
HDUCLAS3 = 'COUNT'/'RATE'
PARAMETERS
infile [character string]
The name of the FITS PHA file to be converted
outfile [character string]
The name of the FITS file to be written in OGIP standard PHA
file format
(copyprime = yes) [boolean]
Whether to copy the primary header and array to the output
file.
(copyall = no) [boolean]
Whether to copy all other extensions from the input file to
the output file.
